Emma's Letter
Emma's Letter is a three-year-old who seems to have found her groove on fast, dry ground — she wins roughly 1 in every 2 races when conditions suit her, which is a genuinely strong win rate. Over her career she has won 3 of 14 races overall, a respectable 21 per cent win rate, and she picked up her first victory at Newcastle back in late November 2025. What matters most right now is that she has won 2 of her last 6 races, with her most recent success coming at Newmarket eight weeks ago on 21 August 2026. That tells you she is still improving and still in form — her record over this stretch reads 2nd, 5th, 1st, 3rd, 1st, then 9th, which shows the kind of inconsistency you often see in a young horse learning her trade but still capable of showing up on the right day.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Ed Dunlop's Newmarket yard has sent out 39 winners this season, so Emma's Letter is part of a team in good form. At Class 5 level she has managed just 1 win from 5 races, which suggests she may struggle slightly when asked to step up, but her preference for fast ground is a real asset — find her a day when the track is firm and dry, and she is twice as likely to win. She raced as recently as yesterday, so she is an active horse and her the yard clearly see something worth running for. If she gets the ground she loves, she looks capable of picking up another win soon.
